She won her first two events at her first Olympic Trials.<\/h2>\n<p>That&#8217;s right. Lilly King hadn&#8217;t been to an Olympic Trials before this year and she&#8217;s currently sitting at 2-0 on the victory counter. Not a bad start for the teenager.<\/p>\n<h2>2.

She has mentioned in several interviews, both during the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/video-interview-lily-king-and-miranda-tucker-discuss-1-2-finish\/\" target=\"_blank\">NCAA Championship<\/a> meet and at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/209927-2\/\" target=\"_blank\">Olympic Trials<\/a>, that she&#8217;d rather smile and look around than be totally locked in before a race. &#8220;I&#8217;d much rather ask someone what&#8217;s for dinner,&#8221; she said. She&#8217;s definitely taking the adage &#8220;have fun, swim fast&#8221; to heart.<\/p>\n<h2>3. She&#8217;s a go-to for movie quotes.<\/h2>\n<p>According to classmate and fellow breaststroker\u00a0<strong>Laura Morley<\/strong>, King can quote a lot of movies. If ever she needed to consider a career change, Netflix would be a viable option, it seems.<\/p>\n<h2>4.

Carbonation for the sake of caffeine doesn&#8217;t bother her.<\/h2>\n<p>The pre-race rush is important for King, but she does it a bit differently from most swimmers. While other athletes drink coffee for the caffeine kick before a race, King drinks a Coke. The reason? She doesn&#8217;t like coffee but likes the caffeine. The carbonation doesn&#8217;t seem to bother her either.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Sarah Lloyd, Swimming World College Intern Indiana Hoosier rising sophomore, NCAA
